Hi everyone in linux land, because of a recent system crash with my WinXP I decided just to make a clean sweep and reload both O/S's My question is that there is a how-to-do on changing mirrors for up2date and wonder if anybody had the link or actual document. I know the last time I installed FC1, changing the mirror for updates solved the problem of up2date failing to work properly. also any suggestions on some good sites to get rpm's?. I have tried Red Hat but it seems to be lost in their efforts to reorganize their help section. Thanks again. P.S. A special thanks for the above the call of duty award goes to guy who pointed me to the light of asking questions the right way. practice does make perfect so stay tuned ===== Merrill A.
